Hi folks, I just bought a 16V, engine seems in good shape at 79 K kilometers, however, would appreciate if someone gives suggestions for the following:

1) rough idle and flat spot while accelerating between 1-4 K rpm. Some say the iginition wires are shot. Any suggestions?

2) After recent clutch change 1st gear doesnt engage unless lever positioned somewhere between reverse and 1st gear? What could be the cause?

3) Should I drill holes in the airfilter box for extra umph?
